I found that after some break changes in version 6.0.0, the size of the Executeable File Jump to **45M** from **16M** (size of version 5.6.16),and now it grows to **94M** (size of version 7.12.0). it is a little big for me , can I make the file smaller by reduce some functions in src or some config files ? for example: i don't need redis , kafka,elasticsearch,fileout,redis output ,so i comment them in src "/src/github.com/elastic/beats/libbeat/publisher/includes/includes.go"(version 7.12.0),the dist file only reduce to 84M,but it still too big for me. is there any deep reduce method ? ---
